Dear Weatherman –  Rain! Rain! Rain!  We had more rain this week than we’ve had in the past six months!  You ROCK!!

Dear Dean of the Math College at that Institution of Higher Learning Down South – You really messed up by dropping Princess Pea from her math and chemistry classes without notification, question or information.  You did redeem yourself by fixing the Chemistry class right away; your response to the math class issue was not as great.  You can NOT arbitrarily play with your students’ academic life, reducing them to part time status on a whim. Students like Princess Pea are working hard to get into other academic programs, and your shenanigans could put their transfer statuses into limbo.  You’re lucky it all worked out with Princess Pea, because you do NOT want me in your office raging like a Mama Tiger.

Dear Student at that Institution of Higher Learning Down South Who Dropped the Calculus Class at the Last Minute – Thank you.

Dear God – Thank you for the amazing Moment of Grace this week.  Thank you for that instant that Princess Pea logged on to buy a biology book, saw the slot in the Calculus class open up, and clicked on ‘register’ in the nanosecond the one seat in the class became available.  Thank you for that little miracle!

Linking up with the Ladies at Suscipio.

Dear Weatherman –  Thank You for the Christmas Snow!  It was beautiful.

Dear Team Wilhelm – You guys are GREAT! Truly an outstanding group of guys. I’m so awed at your generosity in donating vacation time for our newest young engineer.  Everyone pitched in a few hours, making it possible for Obi to stay home and recover from his emergency achilles-tendon-reattachment-surgery.   You do know that you will all have to take turns carrying him up the stairs every day when he comes back to work next week, right?

Dear Mr. Mahmoud – Oh yum. Lunch today was utterly fantastic, as it always is at your King Tut Restaurant.  Mr. Mahmoud, if I begged, and offered to wash dishes for a month, would you teach me how to make your Vegetable Shawarma?  And the tahini sauce?  And the falafel salad?

Dear Pea Family – You are forgiven for the Great  December Bamboozlement.  My heart has been captured and She can stay.

Dear David – I will miss you, my friend.  My heart is heavy with grief over your death and overflowing with gratitude to our loving God that your demons are put to rest and that your suffering has ended.
